One in six-seven men in Britain will suffer from domestic abuse in their lifetime whilst one in every three domestic abuse victims are male.
There is a growing need to ensure men and their children receive male-victim friendly support and responses from organisations in the statutory, private and third sectors – at a local, regional and national level. This includes ensuring statutory, safeguarding and equality obligations are met. The new Domestic Abuse Act and Statutory Guidance applies to male victims too.
This is the tenth annual national conference on male victims of domestic abuse hosted by the charity. It will focus on:
Latest academic research
Hearing directly from two male survivors about their experiences
The experience and process for setting up male refuges/safe houses and the experiences of the men within them
More topics to come
In 2021, over 450 delegates attended and 99% would recommend the conference to others, 98% said the conference content were very satisfied (75%) and satisfied (23%). 95% said it would positively impact their work.
“Excellent conference, very well put together with a range of fantastic speakers and input”
The conference also meets the NICE Quality Standards on Domestic Abuse.

This is a CPD accredited conference aimed at professionals and practitioners who wish to find out how to support male victims or already work with domestic abuse male victims/survivors.
